lier

Do your self a favor and get a decent attorney, this is the most lying Attorney you will ever meet !! He will show up in court and agree whatever the Da says ! He took my money lied to me for two years and didn’t complete my Case I had to hire a another attorney to finish. When you first go to hi...m he will give you all kinds of promises Never believe a word this guy says ! He is thinks very highly of himself, the only think he does good is to LIE !! He almost had me sign a paper that was gonna turn all my guns away good think I red it and coughed the mistake court made!! Bottom line this man does not care for you nor he will fight for you ! You have been warned!!!

Bad review

We retained Mr. Blatt paid him 12,000.00 to represent my boyfriend . He has done nothing but string him along. He should have filed a motion for his summary probation case, a motion for bail reduction and a motion to combine 4 of the same thing into 1 charge.. We hired him because he said he could ...get him 3 years with half or a program and now he is saying something else. We've spoken to other attorneys who say he is to old and should be on his way out ! We believe he is taking his time to try to get more money.

cares about money more than client

After being ignored for weeks to months after emailing, texting and leaving messages, I have yet to be treated in that matter. A case was completed and a verdict made yet it took a month and a half later to release out of prison. I was told by his office that he was to be released that Friday and a m...onth and a half later was the final release. I was lied to by my own attorney. Why, who knows. I tried to contact him multiple times but never had a return call. Anyone who treats his clients like that is just a bad person. They did call me many times for payment though.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
